morning by Hon. E. FL. Hubbard for the
state and G. w. Argo for the defense.
The taking of testimony was at once
begun, the same witnesses being called
and in the same order as at the trial of
Arensdorf. No new facts were brought
out, the evidence merely reciting the
killing, finding of the body and sur

who was later found in an intoxicated
condition. Rev. c. G. Turner, who was
with Haddock up to few minutes be-

did not appear at the designated time
and bench warrant was issued and the
reverend gentleman brought into court

A Young Lady Commits Suicide
Near Blue Earth City.


Special to the Globe.
BLUE EARTH CITY, Sept. 9.-Miss
Amelia Doege, aged about twenty-one
years, committed suicide by hanging
Thursday evening. She was the daugh-
ter of Leopold Doege, of Emerald town
ship, living about six miles southeast of
Blue Earth City. She had been found
by some member of the family in the
afternoon of the day mentioned.
hanging by the neck in the barn
She was taken down by her father
and others of the family, and he
came at once to this place and sent word
to the coroner. That official came next
day, but failed to develop any facts in
regard to her death. She had worked
the past season in the family of Henry
Sellen in the eastern part of this town
ship. About two weeks before she took
her own life she came home complain
ing of sickness. After some DAYS DIR.
Couper was called. When questioned
as to her particular ailments she said
she was not sick, but was troubled-that
she had not slept for FIVE OF six nights;
10 her sisters she divulged, in part, the
secret that she loved a young man who
was soon to marry another, and that she
didn't want to live after he married.
The day before her death she attempted
suicide by hanging, but was discovered.
The last attempt was well planned and
successful. She went to the barn,
climed to beam, fastened strap
around :rafter, then around her neck,
giving herself drop of about six feet,
which would leave her six feet from the
floor. She was dead when found, but
how long she had hung was not deter
mined.

Some Damaging Statements Made
Regarding Cardinal Gibbons.


New York, Sept. 9.-Tne Brooklyn
Standardization this evening publishes
long statement by one whose name is
not given, but who is vouched for as be-
ing in position to know whereof he
speaks. 1t Processes to show that DR..
McGlynn was condemned and dismissed
from the priesthood without a hear
ing. The essential features of the
story are in effect as follows: DR.. Burt
sell, acting in the capacity Of counsel for
DR.: McGlynn, prepared an elaborate
defense OF his client and felt the utmost
confidence in his acquittal. Cardinal
Gibbons was in Rome, and as he had
taken strong ground in favor of the
Knights of Labor. on whose behalf DIR.
McGlynn had suffered admonition from
Archbishop Corrigan and Cardinal
Simeoni, it was thought that he was
good person to present McGlynn's de-
fense to the propaganda. Accordingly
it was forwarded to him for that pur-
pose. But the narrator goes on to say
that Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop
Keane were very much interested in
carving through the project of the
Catholic university, and that the cardi-
nal, willing to help Cardinal Simeoni
out OF his McGlynn dilemma in order to
forward the chances of the university,
suppressed DR.. McGlynn's defense en-
tireiy, and let the case go to a hearing
pro confessio. The authority quoted
adds that Bishop Spaulding, of
Peoria, originated the idea OF the
university and secured the nucleus of
eS00. 900 for it in the donation OF Miss
Caldwell, of New York; that, on find
ing that Bishop Spaulding had been ig-
n0red in the arrangements for it, she
withdrew the gift, and that she has not
restored 1T, though she has been indi-
rectly threatened with suit for the
money. The story adds that Bishop
Meore, Of Florida, has taken up DIR. Nc
Hymns case, has written the facts of.
the suppression to Rome, and that it is
very probable that the case will be re-
opened. Moreover, it is stated that
cardinal Gibbons says he suppressed
the case, believing that he was acting
for the best, but that he now sees a
will do all he can to repair it. About
this publication DR.. McGlynn tonight
said:

Rome. In it DR.. Burtsall said that if was
1invited in a gentlemanly way to go to Rome,
undoubtedly would go. When asked what
had become of that letter. Cardinal Gibbons
said it WAS in the hands of the American col
s iege at Rome; but when lately pressed about
it, he said it was probably thrown into his
waste basket with other matter"

The Programme For To-Day
Roads That Lead to the
Fair Grounds.

A sharp, cold wind swept across the
fair grounds yesterday and people
shivered. Seibert's band sat in the
band stand with their coat collars
turned up around their necks and
reeled off a few dozen musical selections
for the delectation of half thous-
and people who drifted about the
grounds in an almost fruitless endeavor
to pass away the time pleasantly.
1t was the opening day of the Twenty
ninth annual far of the Minnesota
State Agricultural society, and, as all
opening days of affairs of this kind, was
marked with general huStling and
busting among the exhibitors, who had
not as yet got their displays in shape
for public Inspection, and the main
building, machinery and agriculturals
and the art gallery were filed with the
echOS of falling hammers and the sharp
hiss of the saw as the various depart
mentS were being gotten into order and
the work will not be completed before
tonight, if it is then, so really the
grand opening day will be Monday,
when it is expected all exhibitors will
have their exhibits on the ground and
in place.
There is every indication now that ag-
'ricultural hall viii present to the eye of
thevisitor an array of products of the soil
of Minnesota which has never been
equalled for eXtensiveness and rich
ness. yesterday morning itlooked barren
and uninViting, but last evening large
portion of the place had been filled with
exhibits and it was rapidly growing into
a paradise, of fruits, vegetables and
grains. Particularly noticeable was
miniature farm arrayed just to the left
of the southern entrance, representing
pastoral scene with more truth to
nature than it could have possibly been
given by the brush of painter. There
were the fields covered with newly
mown grass and golden grain; the COM
Portable home of the farmer nesting
among trees and hedge rows of umbra-
geous growth: the barn, large and airy,
and the road winding down through the
fields to a real fence of rails. 1t was
strikingly clever arrangement.
The attendance was very slim, a few
people evidently from the rural districts
were there, but the number totally told
did not reach 500. The attendance was
as large however as the management ex-
pected it would be, and really they are
not anxious for visitors to come until
the exhibition is ready for them, then
no complaint against the fair can be
made.
